I have to respectfully disagree with your assertion. Any given individuals perception is their reality. No one can state something as reality without it being skewed by their perception. So I guess you can say my reality is that perception is reality. Sent via BlackBerry Bold -Original

Well exactly who would pay for it and what would the turn out be? Haven't we all learned that you can't just spend money without any thoughts about what the reason is for the spending. The town has no money (12 million deficit) and MM has already spent millions without any payback as of yet.

It's not about spending for the economy's sake. It's about spending responsibly. Too many of our citizens are over there heads in debt. Too many people bought homes they couldn't afford. I think that's what Oak is talking about. We also need to curb predatory creditors that pray on people's
